The Romantic Career ofthe YounR Man who

A cable despatch the other day said that
Emin Pashn had received supplies and letters
from Europe through m Arab named Mohamed
Diri. King Mwansa OF Uganda had permitted
this Arab to pass through his country with
arms and provisions for the beleagured Gov
ernor-General, and on his return he brought
from Emin Pasha lcttors, reports OF explora-
lions and maps which had snfely reached their
destination in Europe. King MwanRa also
promised him safe passage when he should ro-
turn with moro supplies for Emin Pasha.
This young man who has proved such a
friend in need to the explorer has a romantic
